Candy Spelling, Aaron Spelling's widow, has just bought the top two floors of a residential tower that is still under construction for $47 million. The 16,500 square feet of space might sound impressive, but it's a clear downsizing for the heiress who currently lives in the largest house in Los Angeles County, which has 123 rooms. Having so much money to throw around doesn't mean finding a place to live is easy. "The problem with the $40-million house is that there aren't any," a Beverly Hills real-estate agent said."

Don't it just make your heart wanna pump purple piss in sympathy? $40-million dollar houses are hard to find. Oh, dear, oh, dear. How sad. Barfffff.

in that I keep hitting a ceiling of what I can afford. The bottom's dropped out of the houses below my price, but those slightly above keep selling for more than asking.
